I've never seen that before, wouldn't have thought it'd be possible to be honest

Will that mean it discharges the battery as it's running?? Is it easy to switch back?

Might be worth checking the charge now and after you have let it run for a bit.
You may me discharging the battery if it is reading a minus value.
